QUICKTIME PLAYER FOR MAC 10.11.6 UPDATE
QUICKTIME PLAYER FOR MAC 10.11.6 BLUETOOTH

22:38:32.000 kernel: Limiting closed port RST response from 355 to 250 packets per second Spewed out in the thousands at one time, then mysteriously vanished.

20:16:16.618 MarsEdit: Can't allocate a new block for a pasteboard. You cannot really get less helpful than a message telling you that messages have been discarded, can you? Kept appearing every minute or so for a day or two, then vanished. 21:14:21.001 : *** LOG MESSAGE QUOTA EXCEEDED - SOME MESSAGES FROM THIS PROCESS HAVE BEEN DISCARDED *** At times there are long bursts of hundreds or even thousands of identical messages, such as: Much of the time that I am working, there are steady streams of incomprehensible messages and warnings, which do not appear to follow simple patterns. This is in spite of running mainstream apps, most developed by Apple or sold through the App Store, with a bare minimum of third-party extensions or goodies, and long hours spent carving away detritus migrated from previous systems.

I see that many days over 200 reports are being sent from my iMac to AppleвЂ™s servers.

QUICKTIME PLAYER FOR MAC 10.11.6 UPDATE

This update has done nothing to reduce the torrent of messages being written to logs, nor to frequent crash reports and spindumps (generated automatically when the spinning beachball appears). As these occurred every few days here, and only seem significant on a small number of models вЂ“ including some MacBook Pros and some iMacs вЂ“ only time will tell whether the new kernel and its extensions have done the trick. The most serious question over 10.11.6 is whether it fixes the sporadic problems with freezing on some models of Mac. (My earlier opinion that the Preview bug had been fixed turns out to be wrong: the bug remains untouched.) My review yesterday of known bugs in El Capitan shows that 10.11.6 has apparently had little impact on that list: most of the more annoying and frustrating bugs in 10.11.5 have been left untouched.

Bluetooth File Exchange, presumably as part of the overhaul of Bluetooth.

Audio MIDI Setup, presumably to work with audio fixes.

Other apps which have been updated in unspecified ways in 10.11.6 include: The iLife Media Browser, used by many Apple and third party apps to provide common access to photos and other media, has been updated too. Photos remains at version 1.5 but has substantial internal changes despite that. These have brought some initial oddities in connecting to some sites: here I discovered that I had to re-enter login credentials for my modem-router, although Safari had previously been able to obtain them from my keychain. The biggest changes which will be apparent to users are in Safari, which is brought up to version 9.1.2, with updates to its WebKit underpinnings too. The XProtect system has also been updated. AppleвЂ™s more detailed listing of security fixes admits to some of the changes, although it does not suggest how those might affect non-security issues. This release is built around a new version of the kernel, dated 23 June 2016, and many of its key kernel extensions (KEXTs) have been updated too. In fact a lot of key system files and apps have been altered, and some areas like audio and Bluetooth support have been largely revamped, hopefully fixing the lingering problems with spontaneous disconnection, and others. With AppleвЂ™s terse and essentially uninformative release notes to go from, you could be forgiven for thinking that this update was small and unimportant. Although it has only been out for a few days, those have been sufficient to give a good indication of its completeness. With macOS Sierra well on its way for an autumn/fall delivery, 10.11.6 could be the final version of El Capitan.
